With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We had just finished recording our single, "Naama Bay," and were looking forward to a show for the release. We were pumped for the summer and had hoped to tour for our first time.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Our jam space was at Brennan's parent's place, so to be safe, COVID has prevented us from jamming since March. Once the restrictions are lifted, we have a potential spot to jam since JB is shopping for a house!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Speaking for myself (JN), I went through a nice phase of heavy drinking, tried to balance it with school throughout the spring and summer, also started running again, which has done wonders for my anxiety (probably the lack of booze, too).
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Sobriety (mostly) and exercise! Trying to quit smoking cigarettes.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I have to mention the show where we played alongside Forester and FKB, it was truly a dream come true.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Stay home. Stay safe. We are almost through this!
